Fee Schedule
This page outlines all fees charged by Lendasat for our services. All fees are transparent and charged only under specific circumstances.
Origination Fee​
Rate: 1.5% of the loan amount
When Charged: The origination fee is charged once when the loan is either repaid or liquidated.
Applied To: The total loan amount (principal), not the collateral value. The fee is calculated based on the Bitcoin price at the time of origination.
How It Works:
- If you repay the loan in full and claim your collateral, the fee is deducted from the collateral before the remaining amount is returned to you.
- If the collateral is liquidated due to non-repayment or LTV threshold breach, the fee is deducted from the proceeds of the liquidation.
- The fee amount in Bitcoin is determined using the Bitcoin price at origination.
Example: For a $10,000 loan, the origination fee would be $150 (1.5% of $10,000). If Bitcoin is priced at $50,000 at origination, this equals 0.003 BTC that will be deducted from your collateral.
Liquidation Fee​
Rate: Up to 5% of the collateral value at the time of liquidation
When Charged: Only when a liquidation occurs (triggered by the lender after the 90% LTV threshold is reached).
Applied To: The collateral value at the time of liquidation.
How It Works:
- Liquidation can be triggered by the lender once the loan reaches 90% LTV.
- The exact liquidation price depends on when the lender chooses to trigger the liquidation, which may result in a higher or lower liquidation price based on market conditions.
- This fee is charged in addition to the origination fee.
- The fee is up to 5% and may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the liquidation.
Example: If your collateral is worth $20,000 at the time of liquidation, the liquidation fee could be up to $1,000 (5% of $20,000), plus the origination fee.
Renewal Fee​
Rate: 0.5% of the loan amount
When Charged: When a borrower extends/renews an existing loan with the same lender.
Applied To: The total loan amount being renewed.
How It Works:
- If you request to extend your loan past the original maturity date, a renewal fee applies.
- The renewal must be done with the same lender and only if they have open offers available.
- This fee is in addition to any interest charges for the extended period.
Example: For extending a $10,000 loan, the renewal fee would be $50 (0.5% of $10,000).
